[Doris · Rating 4 out of 5]

Her patterns are very time consuming, but worth the beauty. She uses a variety of beads in each design. That can be both good and bad. A peice becomes beautiful because of its depth and variety, but at the same time it also can become expensive and time consuming finding the right variety of supplies.
